'Sup party people. I wrote this little diddy as an entry in 's summer writing contest in the romance category for...well, you already dead the exterior description, so... haha. I unfortunately did not win, but it was fun nevertheless. So I thought I'd put it up here for all of you to enjoy (or hate if that's your inclination). Munch out.
I don't think Tai's crest is a coincidence. I honestly never have. It's just who he is. No, not the courage part- well, actually yeah, that. But even more I think is the actual icon. I mean, what else describes Tai like the sun? It's just...him. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but that's how I see him: just a big ball of energy that's warm and loving and...I'm sorry, Mimi, I'm gushing. It's just been a great summer. We went to the beach today; that's where all this sun talk comes from. Tai absolutely adores sunbathing apparently. I know, I never would've guessed. He was content to just lay there all day. And I would've been fine with it too, but there's always so many people at the beach! I love people and all, but I sometimes would like a little privacy, you know? Plus, I burn easy. Tanning never really works for me. Tai always says I'm just too "fair skinned," whatever he means by that. Ok, ok, I know it's a compliment, but Tai tans so well! He just lays there getting darker and darker...and I'm stuck sitting next to him. A poor, pale little girl who has to wear a t-shirt over her adorable little new bikini in order to stay burn free. It's not very comforting, knowing that your boyfriend has more aesthetic appeal than you do. Am I worrying too much? I mean, I don't sound insecure, do I? I don't think I am. I asked Tai if he thought I was and he just said that if I was, it was because I love him so much and don't want to hurt of upset him by not being good enough. I know! Someone has to be helping him. There's no way Tai is that conscious of behavior therapy. He probably talked to Joe about my insecurity out of his own concern and probably just told me what Joe told him. And no, don't go harass Joe about it now. So what if he thinks that. I mean...I do love him a lot. And I do think he's perfect...a little goofy, yeah, but that's what makes him work! I don't know if I have anything like that. He's everything to me, Mimi, I can't lose him. He really is like my sun. I never knew how dark it was without him; I can't go back to that, now or ever. I guess I just have to trust that I really am enough for him. I might not be as tan as he is, or as goofy as he is, but I know that I love him wholly. So...maybe I am a little insecure. But, maybe that's how I earn the icon on my crest.
